Work on this catalogue began in February 2009, and is on-going. The catalogue provides a brief description of a collection of Biological Field Data Sheets held in the O&A Bio-Data compactus No. 1 in the Hobart Marine Laboratories Block 1 Store. The compactus has six bays, and holds research vessel log sheets collected in: 1950s - Vessel Logs including biological observations + Pearl shell measurements. 1960s - Vessel Logs including biological observations + commercial Tuna and Northern Prawn. 1970s, 1980s and 1990s - Vessel Logs including biological observations. There are a few papers relating to data collected as early as 1938. Each folder of field data sheets will have a TRIM record created, then be scanned to PDF and made available via this record or the related voyage metadata record. The final aim of the project is to have a Marlin record for each data set, and as the need arises, have individual CMAR projects transcribe the data, and then add these data to the CMAR Data Warehouse.
